Consumer Description
2014 F250 DIESEL EXPERIENCES MULTIPLE 'DEATH WOBBLES' WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 60MPH AND PASSING OVER EXPANSION JOINT ON BRIDGE OR OTHER LIKE CREVICES. FELT LIKE THE FRONT END WAS FALLING APART WITH VIOLENT FRONT END SHAKING, HAD TO SLOW DOWN TO 35 MPH TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER AND HAD TO PAY $150.00 FOR DIAGNOSIS. FORD CLAIMS ALL FRONT END SUSPENSION PARTS NEED REPLACING AS WELL AS A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 100K MILES ON IT AND IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. IT'S JUST OUT OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FORD ESTIMATES THE REPAIRS AT OVER $1,300.00 WITH NO GUARANTEES THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BY FORD. I'VE OWNED FORD TRUCKS FOR MANY MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS IN ANY OF THE PAST SUPER DUTY'S THAT I OWNED.
